I realize it would not be an easy thing to do since it would mean making an entirely new 3d model. It wouldn't be unreasonable to simply make a "fire extinguisher" for it. Beasically, it is a tall cylinder in front of the pilot, and it makes the bottom of the forward fuselage. It simply falls out the bottom of the aircraft, between the gear legs. Quote:

If you find any good references for the appearance of the plane without the wing guns you should send them to TD as well...

Here's an in-cockpit shot. You can see the fuel tank cylinder plainly. It is not behind any sort of fire-wall, so the pilot is directly exposed in the event of a fire.
![]() If you look carefully, you can see a cut-out between the gear legs, and just aft of where the tension cables meet. ![]() It's just a model, but the brass part shows the bottom of the fuel tank, as well as the connection/release straps (also modeled in brass). ![]() ![]() Still trying to get a manual.... |

Not necessary, got one myself, only forgot about it. Nice pics, though, and interesting feature I didn't realize before.

It is awesome that such a plane (P-11c) could survive war to be now in a aero museum. Is it original or a replica?

![]() And P-11 had dropable fuel tank IRL. If fuel tank get fire pilot could drop it. Also there is a project to bulit P-11 flyable replica in Poland. Maby some day we could see it in the air. In 4.10 patch there will be improved P-11 model with new DM hit boxes and i hope FM also. Last edited by Kwiatek; 11-09-2010 at 11:13 PM. |

![]() Who originally came up with the idea is anyone's guess. As for the wing guns, it would seem like a relatively easy addition - delete the barrels, flatten the blisters, adjust the skin to reflect the changes (I'm sure the blisters use "lighting" illusion enhancement) and modify the weight/balance of the guns and ammo (I don't know any details there). |
